http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050112/ap_on_fe_st/norway_money_to_burn&e=2OSLO, Norway - Arild Tofte and Kaare Heggdal know that recycling pays, but they weren't quite prepared for the jackpot that a scrapped cash machine contained.
It was still full of cash. Enough to buy a house and take a luxury vacation.
Tofte, 30, said the woman on duty at the gas station was more than a little skeptical when two men showed up with a trolley and a truck, wanting to remove her ATM.
The cash was removed. The bank — which blamed the incident on a communications mix-up — didn't say how much was in the ATM. But Tofte said the guard who emptied the machine told him it was enough to buy a house, take a luxury vacation and still have money to burn.
